St Lukes Church, Pakanae

Just outside of Opononi in a small settlement named Pakanae is this historical church overlooking the Hokianga Harbour and sand dunes. St Lukes Church was built in the 1920s and is currently part of a Give a Little campaign to save it. At the risk of collapse, the old building needs repairs due to wear and tear over the years.

Unfortunately the main door was locked when we visited as the church is still in use but I did manage to find this one above.
